Richardson has along criminal history with convictions in Durham, Robeson, Cumberland, Hoke and Orange counties for larceny, assault on a female, communicating threats, assault with a deadly weapon, assault on a government employee, child abuse, breaking and entering and uttering.
YOu are so right. We have the sorriest judges and DA in North Carolina. PLEASE don't ever cast a vote for Judith Daniesl, Carmichael, or Carter. Dealing with a family member being stalked by her ex who assaulted her, I watched these three routinely let criminals go, and treat the victim worse than the criminal. In this county, if you are a victim you have NO RIGHTS. THey are more worried about offending the criminal.
The murderers should get the death penalty (no matter what race they are) and the rest should get long jail sentences instead of so called supervised probation. Odds are this guy will be back on the street in a few years terrorizing someone else. Robesonians, go get training, a concealed permit, and take responsibility for your security. LEO community can't do it all. Dont be a victim.
